 A newly erupted volcano exposes an ancient temple to a world that
has forgotten it. Race to the Depths will pit players against other
groups of adventurers and treasure seekers to recover plunder from
this crumbling edifice.

Getting Started
Race to the Depths is an adventure that starts in a port city called Alaghon on the northeastern
coast of Turmish, but you can incorporate it into any sea or even lakeside city or village. The
gods (and their temples) featured in this adventure are native to the land of Faerun in the
Forgotten Realms setting, but you can simply substitute the gods found here with similar ones
from your chosen setting. The gods mentioned in this adventure are as follows:
Umberlee: Goddess of the sea, generally feared by sailors.
Valkur: God of sailors and safe passage over the sea.
Selune: Goddess of the Moon
Chauntea: Goddess of farmers and the harvest.
The combat is designed for a party of 4th level adventurers. See “Adjusting Difficulty” for
suggestions on tailoring this adventure for parties of different sizes. This document assumes you
have access to at least the 5th Edition D&D Player’s Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, and
the Monster Manual. You may want to familiarize yourself with the following enemies found in
the Monster Manual before beginning:
-Sahuagin -Bandit Captain -Priest
-Sahuagin Priestess -Noble -Giant Octopus
-Water Weird -Mastiff -Veteran
-Reef Shark -Thug -Acolyte
-Bandit -Commoner
All magical items mentioned in this adventure can be found in the magic items section of the
Dungeon Master’s Guide. Italicized text in boxes such as the following paragraph is for
descriptive purposes and should be read aloud to your players.

The Island
The next day, the island comes into clear view.
The ruins of the temple can be made out in the
center of it, sitting in the shadow of a slowly
dispersing ash cloud. The volcano puffs lightly,
docile and quiet. A direct sea route is impossible
due to debris from the eruption, but the
crescent shaped island shows two possible
landing beaches with paths to the temple. The
first path on the east end of the island looks
somewhat treacherous due to jagged rocks but is
shorter and likely faster. The second path on the
west end of the island runs through a forest and
is longer but looks the easiest. A ship lays
moored just off the west beach.
If the party was delayed somehow from
reaching here (such as from shopping back
in Alaghon, or attacking the other ships
along the way), then the rival adventuring
party has already left their ship and may
reach the temple first. If the party hurried
here, the other ship has just landed and
they have a chance to beat their rivals there
if they take the shorter, harder path.
If the party decides to take the easier path
and follow their rivals at the west beach,
the forest is uneventful until they reach the
temple, skip ahead to “Encountering the
Rivals”, then continue the adventure from
“Umberlee’s Sanctuary”. If they choose the
harder path, Captain Ghend drops them at
the east beach. The party must move slowly
among the jagged rocks, but may attempt
DC 10 Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks if they
wish to hurry. Hurrying will negate a
previous delay. Failure results in a fall
dealing 1d4 piercing damage as well as a
delay.

The Wounded Land
The dangerous and rocky terrain eventually
softens to a dense forest. The going is easy, but
soon after entering the forest the path is
interrupted by a great fissure. This deep wound
in the land was likely formed by the recent
eruption. It is roughly 60 feet across and 150
feet deep. Trees lean precariously over the edge
after being uprooted by the upheaval and some
have fallen in entirely. The bottom is, of course,
also littered with jagged stones and protrusions.
A DC 13 Intelligence (Investigation) check
will show that there are a couple trees
nearby that, when felled, could create a
suitable bridge. There are also trees on the
other side, making it possible to fire a rope
arrow or grappling hook into one to make a
bridge. This may prove dangerous to
heavier characters however, at the DM’s
discretion. Climbing down the crevasse and
back up is also possible, but time
consuming (resulting in another delay). The
jagged rocks are easy enough to descend,
but require a DC 10 Strength (Athletics)
check to climb up. Failure results in a fall
which forces the player to make a DC 15
Strength or Dexterity check to catch
themselves or suffer 18 (6d6) falling
damage, half bludgeoning half piercing.
Once the fissure has been crossed, the party
will then find itself at the entrance to the
temple. If the party has been delayed one or
more times and has not taken an
opportunity to hurry, they meet the rival
adventuring party at the entrance. Skip
ahead to “Encountering the Rivals” and
return here once the encounter is resolved.

Hallowed Chambers
Through the door is a corridor inlaid with
decorative coral and the bones of sea creatures.
It eventually opens into a dome shaped room

A DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) check reveals
a key to the other door near the dais, 3
artifacts of value, and a skeleton wearing a
suit of Mariner’s Armor (Breastplate) under
the rubble. A DC 15 Wisdom (Perception)
check allows the party to find a hidden and
locked compartment in the bed that can be
opened with a DC 12 Dexterity (Thieves’
Tools) check. It is trapped with a magical
cone of thunder that emits from the ceiling.
This trap is identical to the fire breathing
trap found on page 122 of the Dungeon
Master’s guide except that opening the
container triggers the trap and it deals
thunder damage instead of fire. The
compartment holds 2 more artifacts of
value, a bottle of wine still drinkable valued
at 25 GP, and 3 Potions of Water Breathing.
The door to the right of the dais is locked. It
can be picked with a DC 14 Dexterity
(Thieves’ Tools) check, or the key can be
found in the head priest’s chambers. The
door is made of reinforced wood but is not
magical and therefore can be destroyed
with the proper application of force.

In this room there is very little, save something
that resembles a well. The rim of the well is
highly stylized likening it to a swirling whirlpool.
The water fills the well to the rim. It is still,
dark, and smells of the sea.
The well in this room is actually a secret
underwater passage to a hidden ritual
chamber. The well itself is about 30 feet
deep and a small tunnel branches off from
the well and leads deeper. The passage is 80
feet long and is completely dark. There are
dead ends, twists, and turns in the tunnel
and a DC 12 Wisdom (Perception) check is
required to prevent becoming lost. A player
who becomes lost spends 3 rounds
backtracking and reorienting themselves
and must make another Wisdom check to
proceed in either direction. Once
successfully navigating the passage, a
player can easily recall the correct path.
Remnants of a Forgotten Raid
The underwater passage opens into a small,
natural cave. A skeleton is propped up on the
opposite wall from the exit pool. This person
has been dead decades if not centuries, and
much of their possessions have decayed into
nothing. A small pouch on what used to be a
belt looks salvageable. Beyond the old skeleton
a low, cramped tunnel covered in sea life leads
further in. Pale crabs skitter about and colorful
anemones retreat inward when approached.
The pouch nearby contains 7 (1d6+4)
pinches of Dust of Dryness. His belt buckle
also bears the symbol of Selune. The tunnel
has poisonous sea scorpions on the walls in
some areas. A DC 15 Wisdom (Perception)
check is required to spot them. A DC 13

Intelligence (Nature) check will allow
characters to determine that the scorpions
are poisonous and territorial, attacking any
who get close. If the scorpions go unnoticed,
they make a melee attack against the first
person to approach (+8 to hit). A target that
is hit takes 2 (1d4) piercing damage and
must make a Constitution check of 13 or
take an additional 11 (2d10) poison
damage. Once spotted, they are easily
dispatched.
The tunnel drops off a short ledge into a cavern
covered in knee high water. This cavern is about
30 feet wide and 90 feet long and there are a
couple trickles of water pouring from the
ceiling. At the far end, an altar with some
artifacts strewn about it stands above the rest of
the sunken floor. All around the room, skeletal
remains poke out of the water and appear to
bob as small waves pass over them. At the
center of the altar a skeleton lies face down
grasping a dagger in its hand. It lies frozen in an
outstretched position from when its owner
made a final desperate effort. The dagger is
lodged in a cracked stone tablet covered in
runes and glows slightly with infused magic.
2 Water Weirds attack the party in this
room as they reach halfway to the altar. The
water is again at a level that restricts
movement so it is considered difficult
terrain but creatures with swim speeds may
swim instead. The altar at the rear of the
room is above the water so it is normal
terrain. If a Water Weird is brought to less
than half its hit points it will retreat to one
of the 2 trickles of water pouring from the
ceiling. Once there it can spend an action to
stand underneath and regain 1d10 + 1 hit
points. The dust of dryness is particularly
